THE MYTH OF MINE (1 OF 3)

The Myth of Mine (1 of 3)
Series: Under the Windows

Psalm 24:1

This is my mine… It was my first baby blanket and I was a little like Linus on the Charlie Brown comic strip.. I carried this everywhere and I mean everywhere. It was carried through mud and dirt, grease and grime. From time to time my dad who had a rather sick sense of humor would snatch it out of my hands and say, "That's my blanket" and in return I would snatch it back and say "It's MINE". So I came to know this blanket as my mine…. One of the first words I learned to say was mine. When my 3 cousins Tatum, Zeke and Boone would come around I would pile all my stuff into a pile and say, "that's mine" If there were any old sticks around I would say, "That's yours". Now I always had a spiritual reason… they would break it! Besides… this stuff is mine.
